//Shadow’s training has advanced to the point where I can put her in a sit-stay, drop a tiny piece of lunchmeat (HIGH VALUE TREEEAT) into her bowl, walk out of the room for a minute, return to the room, and push her bowl right in front of her, and she’ll wait for my release signal. Usually staring at that tiny sliver of lunchmeat like it’s the most fascinating thing in the entire universe, but she waits.
But she’ll still raid the trash can for tissues when we’re not looking.
Why she loves tissues so much, I’ll never know. I’m constantly on the alert for stray tissues and trash cans in easy-to-reach places.
It’s all a work in progress. Heh.
